When Suzuki introduced the X6 in 1965 it caused an immediate stir,
especially among lovers of light-weight high-performance engines.
The small 247cc air-cooled two-stroke engine was capable of almost
90mph and the motorcycle was suprisingly sophisticated.

The goal was to get 100 hp per one liter cylinder volyme, that
is 25 hp from a 250 cc engine. Suzuki engineers acchieved this
gole and even better. The 250 cc Super T21 (very similar to T20)
that came 1966 had even more power: 30,5 hp.

Among the features of interest on this model was unusual separation
of the oil pump instead of the typical oil/gasoline premix system.
The Hustler was extremely popular and, at the hight of production,
Suzuki produced over 5000 machines per month. Totally 35.500 T20/T21
was sold worldwide 1965-1967. Despite it's success, the X6 was
only produced for three years.

A offroad version of the T20 was introduced (1967?) with the name
TC250 (also called X6 Scrambler). See pictures of Supoer T21 and
TC250 at the end of this page.

Suzuki offered a scrambler version of the T20 in 1967. Some
sources claim that the TC250 had slightly (one horsepower) more
powerful engine that its sister model T20, other sources say that
the models had similar engines. The TC250 was available 1967 to
1969 in the USA, the last version being upgraded with a special
type of fuel tank and seat made of fiberglass, called the GP kit.

Another version of the Super Six was the T21 (also called T250
in Japan), with a luggage rack and a slighty tuned-up engine.

Here's a nice 1968 U.S. version, sold new with the GP kit installed. Appearently some of the bikes were delivered without the fuel tank and the seat from the factory and the kit was mounted onto the bikes by the dealer.
